Lisa's Gift (6 page)

“Milord, may I come?” she murmured, her hips thrusting, burying into his face.

“Yes, baby.”

His consent was all she needed. Her body jerked. She grabbed handfuls of his hair and pressed herself firmly to him, riding his face hard until the last of her climax subsided. Then she collapsed to her knees, wrapped her arms around him and captured his mouth with hers.

She was sweet on his tongue. But he needed to be in her, needed to seek his own release. He broke the kiss. “Hungry?” She scanned his length and whispered, “Yes,” as her gaze settled on his engorged erection.

He rose and assisted her to stand. In unison they turned toward the table. Jana was breathing hard, her face flushed with desire. Her hands gripped the table tightly until her fingers bit into the wood.

Palm pressed to the small of Lisa’s back, Nicolas guided her forward.

“Kneel,” he said as he took his seat beside Jana, turning so he sat somewhat sideways on the chair. “It would please me to have your beautiful lips sucking my cock while I eat.”

Lisa’s Gift

The stunned look on Jana’s face was priceless as Lisa crawled between his legs and took him into her mouth. As she sucked, swirling her tongue around his cock, he clenched his fork, sliced into his omelet and placed a bite in his mouth. With as much strength as he could muster he tried to chew slowly, tried to give the façade of control, while his body was becoming a living furnace.

“How do you like the omelet?” he asked Jana.

“What?” She jerked her gaze from where Lisa’s head bobbed between his thighs and looked toward his face.

He almost groaned when Lisa took his sac into her small hand and began to massage it. “The omelet.” He held his breath for a moment. “Do you like it?”

“The omelet?” She was like a mocking bird repeating his words.

Fuck, this was difficult, but he continued all the same. “Yes. Do you like it?”

“Like it?”

Clearly Jana was bewildered and he had held on as long as he could.

“Excuse me.” He weaved his fingers through Lisa’s hair. With several thrust of his hips fire licked his cock. He released a throaty groan and let his climax wash over him. Lisa gagged and he loosened his hold, giving her the room and air she needed as she swallowed, milking his cock.

After a final pump into Lisa’s mouth he slipped from between her lips and drew her from the floor into his lap.

“Thank you,” he murmured close to her ear. “I put a dome over your breakfast to keep it warm, but if it isn’t warm enough I’ll reheat it.”

“It’ll be fine, Nicolas.” Lisa snuggled close to him. “Would it please you to be fed?”

“You are such a treasure, but I think it’s time for you to take your seat.” He gave her a light push off his lap. When she rose, he slapped her firmly on the ass. She squealed and lurched forward laughing, while his brand flashed a light pink on one cheek of her butt. “Why don’t we all just relax and eat our breakfast?”

They both turned their attention to Jana. She was anything but relaxed. The wild look in her eyes, her rapid breathing, said it all. She was prime for the taking.

Lisa’s Gift

And some would call
her
crazy!

Game of chicken or not, Jana shouldn’t have stayed. Yet there was no use in trying to hide the fact that their performance had turned her on. It had been
hot
.

As Jana watched Nicolas and Lisa finish their breakfast and chat about the recent rise in gas prices, she wondered if it was possible to have dreamt what just happened. The fact that she was the only one at the table with clothes on confirmed that she hadn’t completely lost her mind.

Lisa and Nicolas
had
casually had sex right in front of her. If you could call giving head casual sex.

They were relaxed and enjoying each other’s companionship. Jana couldn’t claim the same. Even on the lonely nights when she had switched over to an adult movie it had never been as arousing as what she had just experienced. Desire dampened her panties. Her breasts ached and her nipples stung causing her to take shallower breaths so they wouldn’t rub against her shirt.

She was hot, horny and wound to the point she felt like a child’s jack-in-the-box, ready to spring from her skin at any moment.

She’d never seen Lisa so uninhibited or so sexy. Sensuality rolled off Lisa’s skin. Her lithe body moving to the music, the look of ecstasy on her face and especially how she had affected Nicolas was a total turn on.

Jana would be lying if she didn’t admit the desire to dance naked with Lisa. But the ultimate was how Nicolas touched Lisa, caressed and www.samhainpublishing.com 43

teased her body. It had been outright torture sitting there watching him and wishing to join them.

Jana had never met a man who made every nerve ending scream as Nicolas did. Even the macho dominance game he played she had to admit was exciting. She wanted to be touched by him, wanted to feel him between her thighs. The tingle in her nipples returned with a sudden surge. A fresh flood of desire drenched her panties.

Dammit!
What she needed was a man. Lisa’s was off-limits.

“Jana? Jana?” Lisa gave her a nudge with the palm of her hand.

A rush of heat filled Jana’s cheeks. “I’m sorry. What did you say?”

“I said that after we clean up, perhaps we could go shopping.” Lisa leaned forward and whispered, “Are you okay?”

Clean up? Oh no.

As fucking hot as Jana’s body was the last thing she wanted was to watch two naked people bound across the kitchen bumping into each other, laughing and playing, until they got down and dirty on the floor.

And hell no, she wasn’t okay.

Furthermore, the only store she really cared to go to was the Rent-a-Stud Escort Service. Briefly she wondered if they had a set of twins available, because it was going to take more than one man to work the tension from her body.

“Jana?” Lisa looked at her with concern in her eyes.

“No. Yes.” Jana couldn’t believe that rational thought had completely escaped her. She took a breath and began to speak slowly. “Why don’t I do the dishes and straighten up the kitchen, while you two get ready. I’m already dressed.” She was sure three shades of pink rose in her cheeks.

Lisa’s soft, warm laughter filled the room. “You are, aren’t you? Well if you don’t mind. It won’t take us but a minute or two.” She rose, whipped around the table and gave Jana a big hug. “I’m glad you’re here.”

The look of expectation in her friend’s eyes made Jana say, “Me too.”

As Nicolas and Lisa left the kitchen, Jana knew in her heart that she had to move out before something got out of hand. Nicolas was attracted to her. Hell, he was probably attracted to any woman who wore a skirt.

But the worst part was that she was drawn to him, always had been since she was a teenager. He felt like a drug sliding through her veins, trying to take control.

The fire he stirred inside felt alive—made her feel alive.

She wanted him.

Jana would never, ever, hurt her friend; to ensure it wouldn’t happen, leaving was the only answer.

By the time Jana cleared the table, loaded the dishwasher, and picked up her friend’s clothing and the shoes she’d left behind, Lisa entered looking as fresh as the morning dew wearing a pink sundress and sandals the same color. She was beautiful, but Jana had noticed that her friend had lost a good ten pounds since the last time she visited her. She was almost too thin. And her hair—it used to be long and flowing. It was still beautiful but short, not even brushing her shoulders.

Lisa tried to visit at least once a year, always making the trip to California and never asking Jana to return to Arizona.

That was why it had surprised Jana when Lisa admitted to sending Jana’s résumé to Medical Devices. Their hiring manager was at USC

interviewing fresh-outs—engineering students right out of college. Lisa had called with the time and place, saying, “The rest is up to you.”

Actually the rest was history. The job sounded fantastic and offered a great career path. The money was more than Jana had expected to receive. When she’d discussed the job possibility with Dr. Tate, she’d said,
It would be a good opportunity to vanquish the demons in your life.

What do you have to lose?

Her sanity?

Okay, the doctor promised that wasn’t possible, that Jana was ready to begin anew.

So here she was back in Chandler and wrestling with more than past demons—there was a whole crop of new ones to add.

“Are you ready to go?” Lisa asked.

Jana dried her hands on the dishtowel and folded it neatly before setting it on the counter. “Yeah, just let me grab my purse.”

As she headed out of the kitchen and down the hall she met Nicolas.

He gifted her with one of his sexy grins. The close quarters of the hallway made it difficult to avoid him as they came within touching distance.

His hungry gaze scanned her from head to toe. “Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are, Jana?”

Unease slithered across her skin. “Shouldn’t you be saying things like that to Lisa and not me, or any other woman for that matter?”

With a brush of his knuckles he smoothed his hand across her cheek. “So soft.”

Jana swatted at his hand. “Stop that. I don’t know what game you’re playing, but I won’t be a pawn in it. I won’t hurt Lisa.”

He ran his fingers across her lips, sending tremors through her body.

The smell of soap and aftershave sent her hormones into overdrive. She tried to move, but her damn legs failed her once again.

His laugh held a hint of male satisfaction greeting her frustration.

“It looks like you two will be on your own. There’s a problem at the restaurant. I need to check in.” Before she could dodge him, Nicolas planted a kiss on her cheek. “I’ll see you tonight, doll.” There was a sensual promise in his voice that made Jana more than uncomfortable.

As he moved on, she ducked into her bedroom and retrieved her purse, thankful that when she returned to the kitchen Nicolas was gone.

Lisa was frantically digging through her purse. She pulled out a tablet box and took out a small white pill.

She looked up at Jana and said, “Headache.” Quickly she moved to the cabinet, opened it and grabbed a glass. After using the water dispenser from the refrigerator to fill her glass, she threw back her head, downing the pill and chasing it with a swig of water.

“You okay?” Jana asked.

A tight smile spread across Lisa’s face. “I’m wonderful. Especially now that you’re here.” She went to the table to gather her belongings, put them into her purse and then said, “Let’s go.”

Chandler Mall had been built shortly after Jana left Arizona. It was amazing to see the progress all the surrounding cities had made. Where she remembered fields and more fields of farmland, subdivisions had sprung up in their place. They passed by one and then another new development in Lisa’s yellow Corvette. The rapid growth made it hard to believe she once knew this area.

Big, expensive homes were everywhere, making Jana wonder who could afford such luxury. Every sign they passed advertised homes beginning in the high five- to six-hundred-thousand-dollar range.

Of course, that was nothing compared to the cost of living in California. Dorm life for four years hadn’t been too bad. The last year she shared an apartment with two other women.

However, the job in Tempe that awaited her was a new beginning and the end to a past she wanted to forget. Medical Devices offered a promise of a new life and the means to make it happen. Not to mention she didn’t have to start until late October. That gave her just about two months.

She was officially on vacation, a vacation that had started out on really wobbly legs.

With the thought of California, those nagging words from her doctor once again appeared.
Don’t put off the ugliness in your life. Face it head
on. And most importantly, deal with it immediately.

Jana really hated to bring it up, but for her own sanity she had to ask. “Lisa, you’re not in an abusive relationship with Nicolas are you?”

Lisa reached across the console and squeezed Jana’s hand with hers.

Her face grew solemn. “Honey, no. Nicolas would never hurt me.” Then her mouth twisted into a wicked grin. “Unless I asked him to.”

Jana’s mind went blank. “What do you mean?”

Lisa steered her car into the parking lot in front of Robinson Mays. It was already ninety-five degrees and climbing. The temperature in the car was twenty degrees cooler than the outside air.

“Surely you can see that we dabble in bondage and domination.” She released a blissful sigh. “I love to be spanked by him.” Just their luck, there was a parking spot up near the front. As Lisa came to a stop she continued, “It’s a lifestyle neither of us live twenty-four-seven, but we do like to play once in a while. In fact, our relationship is built on the physical. We don’t want anything else.”

Was her friend freakin’ nuts? She had one of the most handsome men Jana had ever seen. He was successful and educated, even if he hid it well beneath a cover of arrogance and authority.

Jana was still trying to process what Lisa had said as they climbed out of the car. Lisa used her automatic lock and the car made a clicking sound as the doors were secured.

“I’m not looking for anyone to tie me down.” Lisa laughed before adding, “Emotionally.” They began to walk toward the entrance of the department store. “Nicolas and I met at a party. He was in between subs and I was in between boyfriends. One thing led to another and we simply hooked up.”

“You can’t possibly go for this bondage, domination thing.” Jana couldn’t help letting her doubt slip into her voice.
